hehehe lol that is awesome. Ive always wanted to try mantis shrimp meat but I will never sacrafice my own! I do hear it tastes real good and is a popular cantonese dish though.

How much meat do you get off one of these guys? Well put it this way, L maculata (commonly sold as food) is the largest of all mantids. They max out at a whopping 16 inches... that's well over a foot of meaty mantis goodness!
